Grand Theft Auto V's First Trailer is Here

As expected, the game is set at least partially in a Los Angeles-inspired locale.

Following speculation that Grand Theft Auto V would be set in Washington, DC and a report that it was set in Los Angeles -- which made sense in light of previousindications of the game's setting -- the debut trailer for the game has revealed it is set in what appears to be Los Angeles.

In the trailer we hear the game's protagonist talking about trying to become a good family man before instead deciding to go the criminal route -- we see a car being chased by the police, part of a robbery, and other criminal activities.

A Vinewood sign is seen (the GTA name for Hollywood), as is a helicopter and a jet of some sort. There were a lot of different environments shown in the trailer so perhaps we'll get something like San Andreas where we get more than just Los Santos (GTA's name for the city of L.A.).

A recent report suggested the game could be digital-only. That's highly unlikely, though, with such a large chunk of the Xbox 360's install base lacking hard drives or featuring hard drives no bigger than 20GB.

We'll have continuing coverage on GTA V as we learn more.

Updated incorrect information about this being the first appearance of a military jet in the series
